Network-8168 and network-8169 works really bad with my computer

I knew friends and colleagues that had problems with these NICs on AM3 motherboards
over 10 years ago

Network disconnects for a minute after sleep

I know Linux users with the same NIC on Gigabyte motherboards where r8169 driver does not work at all and r8169 driver must be blacklisted to use the r8168 driver

suggest try changing to r8168 kernel driver in
manjaro-settings-manager -m msm_mhwd

Manjaro Settings Manager GUI works to get the correct kernel modules and headers installed, and blacklist the r8169 driver

this command should do the same

sudo mhwd --install pci network-r8168
